Wrong symlinks relative path for nested files

[p5yk0]

Let's say we have this stucture :

|- dest
|- src
   |- Gulpfile.js
   |- app
      |- index.js
      |- module
         |- a.js

I want to symlink all files in src/app into dest and keep the app structure :

gulp
 .src( '/absolute/path/to/src/app/**', { nodir:true } )
 .pipe(
     gulp.symlink(
         'absolute/path/to/dest',
         { overwrite:true, relativeSymlinks:true } )
  );

Now in folder dest I have :

index.js -> '../src/app/index.js'
module/

That is fine.

But in dest/module I have :

a.js -> ../app/module/a.js

instead of

a.js -> ../../app/module/a.js

It seems that the directories presents in file.relative are ignored.
Only the files in the root src directory have working symlinks. Symlinks created for src nested files are broken.

Is it a bug or I'm somehow missing something ?

With Gulp
CLI version: 2.3.0
Local version: 4.0.2

I don't see a good way to resolve this. In 4.0.0, we'll support Vinyl objects that already have the symlink file set, so you can calculate it within your stream pipeline.

We'll revisit this post-gulp-v5
